STREET CARS, WATER AND GAS
Prof. Harry King then gave an account OF the
uprising OF the patrons OF the 14th-StTeet line
against the principle of working without pay and
without thanks. In consequence of their united
efforts, he said, the railroad company had hired a
few conductors OF their own, thus relieving, in
part, the patrons OF the line from the duties Of
that position. This recital Of a successful revolt
moved Prof. Otis Mason to inquire IL anybody in
that division ever had water enough In the morn
Ing 10 wash their faces, II they did not save it
over night For Two years, he added, that he had
been unable to get enough water Tor tins purpose
at O'Clock in the morning.
Mr.. ThoS. II. Chase suggested that II he de-
pended on the gas light TO see his face he would
not know whether it was washed or not.
In further continuation of the discussion OF this
subject Mr.. III. g. Jacobs said that in his neighbour.
hood IL would be easy to get water to wash early
in the morning. There was q depression in the
sidewalk which formed pool several inches deep
every time IL rained. This had been the cause OF
nulnberieSS communications to the Commissioners
during the past two years, but to no effect After
a desuitory discussion the meeting adjourned.
